People are checking the power line works lighting the countryside.

There are 106 households in the hamlet. These households are divided into 4 residential areas with over 90% of Muong ethnic people. In 2018, with the effort of overcoming difficulties and the solidarity, people in Khang 3 hamlet have achieved certain success in the construction of new countryside.

In the past, when lighting was not installed, the traveling in the evening had many inconveniences. There was the risk of the traffic insecurity along with the potential of losing security. By the middle of 2018, in the hamlet's meeting, the village proposed the idea of ​​building a lighting line on the roads and receiving enthusiastic support from the people. After discussing and agreeing, the households contributed money and workdays to install the project with a total construction cost of more than 20 million VND.  After more than seven months of using, the project has brought into full and practical effect. The people are very excited.

From the reality, it can be seen that the electricity lighting project of Khang 3 hamlet is built firmly and solidly with zinc pillars. To facilitate the management as well as repairing and maintenance, the hamlet has installed a common electric meter for the whole route, located in the neighborhood culture house. Every month, people contribute the electricity cost. Additionally, the village management board also collects 1,000 VND per household. This amount is used as an estimated budget to repair the building when incidents occur as well as to install additional lines to all households. Spending a small amount of money but it brings great effectiveness to the people in Khang 3 hamlet. People are all excited and proud of the constructions which were built by 100% money they contributed. "The construction of electric lighting in the village roads is very practical, not only convenient for living and traveling but also for the security. Because it is near the National Road 6, at night there was often theft and robbery in the neighborhood in the past. Now there is lighting power to all residential areas, this situation is much limited.” said Ms. Thanh, a resident in Khang 3 hamlet.
